Abstract
- Smart user devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and useful for detecting the user’s context and his/her current activity. This work analyzes and proposes several techniques to improve the robustness of a Human Activity Recognition (HAR) system that uses accelerometer signals from different smartwatches and smartphones. This analysis reveals some of the challenges associated with both device heterogeneity and the different use of smartwatches compared to smartphones. When using smartwatches to recognize whole body activities, the arm movements introduce additional variability giving rise to a significant degradation in HAR. In this analysis, we describe and evaluate several techniques which successfully address these challenges when using smartwatches and when training and testing with different devices and/or users.
